New Fauna Faire DLC
The Fauna Faire will primarily focus on pets and will introduce brand-new animals into the game, from ferrets to hedgehogs to adorable otters.
All the rewards will focus on those pets including capes, flairs, and emotes that allow you to pet your animals.

They all feature different races, styles, genders, and designs to help every player feel part of the open-world game.
New blocks
Along with new skins comes some brand new blocks for players to build with on their journey, these include:
- Hanging signs
- Bamboo wood set
- Working Bookshelves
The hanging signs can be placed in multiple different ways and introduce a new way to display information.
The Bamboo wood set brings in a unique design style all made from Bamboo. For example, players can use Bamboo wood to craft rafts rather than boats to better fit the bamboo theme.
Lastly, the newly introduced Working Bookshelves. After some time, Minecraft has introduced bookshelves that you can actually put books in, which even include enchanted books so players won’t have to worry about their inventory filling up.
New mobs
Aside from the typical Minecraft Live mob vote players took part in, there was also another creature announced for the 1.20 Minecraft update.
The two mobs coming to Minecraft in the next update are the Camel and the Sniffer.
The Camel is a ridable creature that can dash and hold two players at once. You can also breed it and tame it.
The Sniffer is the fan-voted mob joining the game. It digs its head into the ground and brings up brand new seeds to create flowers unseen in the game currently.
